2018, Domaine Thierry Violot-Guillemard, POMMARD, 1er Cru, 'Epenots'

This is a powerful wine with lots of character. Quite spicy with white pepper and cherry fruit. Showing firm tannins at this time with a fine dry finish. Jo Charvill, May 2019.

Attractively layered aromas are comprised by wisps of cherry, red raspberry, spice and more prominent earth nuances. There is outstanding volume to the caressing middle weight flavours that also possess a lovely sense of underlying tension while delivering excellent persistence on the balanced finale. This too needs to add depth with time in bottle, but the material is here for that to occur. Fine potential here as well. Sweet Spot Outstanding. 92 Burghound.
